I mean I did after all mention breeders, I would have to be pretty clueless to think a breeder would just give me one. :) I didn't feel thats how I came off but to each their own. No offense taken ( hope I didn't offend either) I just wish people didn't assume so quickly. Perhaps next time a simple " are you willing to pay a fee/price, or how much are you willing to spend" might be better off is all... agreed? Have a good night and thanks again for the help. :D

Well in the past we have had some people come here and want anything free they could get.Majority(myself included) have responded to them and a few got pretty rude because we questioned them.This might sound crazy to some but a few breeders have given snakes away free of charge for differant reason.I have given a corn snake away to raise money for a reptile rescue that had several reptiles hurt or killed.So it does happen:) .I have an idea since you dont like "purchase" maybe say i am "looking" for (whatever it might be) :) .

Well if you want a pet store, there is one I go to in Ames, IA thats called "The Ark Pet Shop". It's obvious you arn't going to drive there but maybe you could call and see if they ship. I have no idea if they do or not but the number is 515-292-4646. No much help I know but they do have two leucys in stock. Not sure on sex but if you wanna call, go for it.
Re: Looking for Leucistic Texas Rat NJ
Will do :) The breeders I have ... worked with if you will lol don't breed snakes. More furry exotics :)
I shall PM.
Thanks
I understand giving away an animal free to raise money for a rescue. In a way its not free though if you think about it eh? Maybe you don't see money but .. anyway I'm on your level its cool :)
*edit* Thanks Chase I think I am going to wait for spring and go on her waiting list. Sounds the safest bet so far. I wouldn't want to ship pet store snakes I can't see in person etc. I just don't trust many stores. Plus who knows what they will charge for who knows what I am getting heh. I appreciate the info though !! :D

Uhhhh, I'm not saying this place is a PETCO cuz its not. The guys breeds bp's, corns, milks, and others that I don't care to name. He also has alot of connections with alot of breeders. I was acually there when these leucys came in. They came in on saturday at about 6pm along with 1 GTP, a few bps, and 2 blazing blizzard geckos (one i already purchased and have made a thread on). The snakes came from a well respected breeder located in Kansas City MO. He breeds a variety of reptiles and he also owns the Kansas City Reptile Show which i will be attending March 11th. And he will be "charging" you $79.99 and if you mean you don't know what sex you will be getting, I never said they were unsexed, i only said i didn't know. I can understand you not wanting a snake you havn't seen in person or wanting to ship from here and i didn't expect you to acually call at all. But don't base your decision off of being a "pet store". All of the breeders on this forum that post threads with what they have available and their websites are doing what this guy is doing. They are selling their animals out of their home and this guy has boughten property and has invested in advertising rather than doing it in his basement.
Re: Looking for Leucistic Texas Rat NJ
I didn't mean to put down that specific pet store. I didn't know you knew personally, I was more speaking generally. I apologize. I am not suggesting every pet store is bad either, No one can. Forgive me. I am probably stating everything in the wrong way on here. I can't help it we are online after all :( I'm also sick and not thinking correctly. I didn't mean to offend.
